# Build the diagram-aware language server for the example DSL
cd theia-sprotty-example/server
./gradlew installDist
cd ..

cd theia-dsl-extension
npm install
cd ..

To run the Theia web app:

How to Use the Examples

• Expand the files browser on the left.
• Double-click an example file to open it. You'll get a text editor with language support for the multicore DSL powered by Xtext. The DSL describes the execution of parallel algorithms on many-core processors.
• Right-click the same file in the files browser and select "Open With → Flow diagram". You'll see a graph view of the tasks and barriers in the DSL file, with automatic layout powered by ELK.
• Drag the graph view tab to the right to get a side-by-side layout.
• Right-click the file again, select "Open With → Processor diagram", and drag the new tab to the bottom right (below the graph view).
• Click on task nodes in the graph view and observe how the application adapts to that selection. Clicking on the black background also has an effect if you previously selected a task node.
• The same kind of view synchronization is done if you click on a color-highlighted core in the processor view.
